Wireless Bridge
A bridge is a network component that connects two networks. AWK-5232’s bridge operation is based on the AP
(master) and Client (Slave) concept. Both sides of the connection must have the same RF type, SSID, and
security settings.
For single RF mesh networks, the conventional setup is to use WDS to establish a static bridge link. In this case,
the APs at both ends of the WDS link must be configured manually with each other’s MAC addresses. The
performance of a single RF bridge will be poor if more nodes are added.
The AWK-5232’s dual RF bridge concept is different from using a single RF, because the AWK-5232 has dual
RFs, and offer users a cascade link to bridge the two ends without narrowing down the throughput.
